This sermon calls Christians to honor God by honoring the authorities He has established. The sermon emphasizes recognizing God as the source of governing authority, respecting government’s just purpose, and responding with a right attitude by rendering what is due for conscience’s sake.
Practical applications include thanking God for government, praying for civic leaders, practicing good citizenship, paying taxes, and showing respect and honor. While honoring human authority, believers must obey God first when loyalties conflict. The sermon closes with encouragement that God reigns and a call to pray for revival and shine Christ’s light.
